verse 1
Roberta, you say you know me
But I see only what you're paid to show me
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, Roberta, I understand you
I know you need to move in other circles too
It's tough for me, It's tough for you.
Interlude
verse 2
Roberta, how I've adored you
I'd ask you over but I can't afford you
Oh, I wish you'd take the time
Oh, I wish you'd take the time, oh oh
Roberta, the night goes slowly
I know you're workin' but you must get lonely too
It's tough for me, It's tough for you
Bridge
And I'm in a bad way and wanna make love to you
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Instrumental

(no vocals)
Oh, I wish you had the time
Oh, I wish you had the time oh oh
Roberta, I really need you
But I suppose that my small change won't see you through
It's tough for me, It's tough for you
